Chapter 167: The Wild Goose Comes

Bypassing the courtyard wall, Qin Su took out the letter that had been prepared a long time ago and stuffed it through the crack in the door. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

With a "snap", the letterhead landed with a slight sound, and Qin Su couldn't help but bend his eyes.

The four big characters "Lang Zhong Lingqi" on the envelope will definitely make this letter reach Cheng Tingzhen's hand smoothly.

Qin Su looked up at the sky.

Thick clouds obscured most of the moon, and there was only a blur of light in the sky.

At this time, it should have only passed the beginning of the year, and those little thieves must still be waiting outside.

About half an hour later, when the drug attack is at its strongest, then they will do it, and the order of their actions is to first loot in the surrounding building, and then come to the backyard.

The reason for this is said to be that they were so sure of the drug that they were unhurried, but they did not expect that the guards of the inns would turn around in the middle of the night.

These were also heard by Qin Su in his previous life.

She never expected that the gossip she heard as a story in her previous life would help her so much in this life.

She stood outside the door where Cheng Tingzhen lived for a while, identified the direction, and went to the back door of the post station.

What she has to do next is not difficult, and things have already been prepared, as long as this matter is completed, Qingzhou City's worries can be temporarily resolved.

The premise of all this is that she has to be fast.

Everything must be arranged before the late guards return home.

Qin Su didn't think much about it, untied the burden and hugged it in his arms, tightened the cloak on his body, and sped up his pace and walked away......

***************************

"Bang, bang, bang"

Before the sea arrived, a loud gong suddenly sounded, and it spread far away in the quiet night.

"Thief bird, don't run, eat my sword!"

"Stick your fingers, be careful!"

"Quick, there's another one here, tie him up!"

Bursts of shouts and fights sounded after the sound of gongs, and if you have good ears, you can even hear the sound of soldiers fighting each other, and in an instant, the whole post station is lively.

The first people to wake up were those who had better martial arts skills among the guards.

When they woke up and found that they had been drugged, they woke up the others, and soon, the sleeping people in the post house finally woke up, and the front and back yards were lit up one by one, and it didn't take long for the whole post station to be reflected as bright as day.

Cheng Tingzhen and Mr. Liu, with a few guards, stood under the corridor of the main room, looking at the brightly lit walled building in front of them, their faces were pale.

The people in the mansion were all hooked, and called a few thieves to get drugged, which was already a joke, but it was ridiculous that the guards raised by his Cheng family slept worse than his master one by one, or he kicked the door and poured a few big scoops of cold water on his head to wake these people up.

The more I think about it, the more unpleasant it becomes.

The guards of the Qin Mansion are obviously much smarter than the Cheng family, and the first to wake up in the entire backyard is the guards of the Qin Mansion.

Cheng Tingzhen's hand behind him clenched and opened, and his gaze slowly swept over the guards.

The men all bowed their heads with shameful faces.

Fortunately, there is still some shame in it, and it doesn't live up to his worship over the years.

"Lord Lang, everyone is all together, and the things are cleared, and there is no loss. A person who looked like a steward ran in from outside the courtyard, hurriedly reported, wiped the sweat on his head while speaking, took a breath and reported: "The little guy in front came to report, the building suffered heavy losses, most of them were stolen by thieves, and one of the courtyards under the Qin Mansion was also stolen, and the surnames Cheng and Cui were all fine." ”

With his words, Cheng Tingzhen's face calmed down little by little.

It turned out that the Qin family had also lost something.

This made him feel that he had saved some face.

He looked at the steward with a light expression, and ordered: "Go again, send two fast-legged ones to the front to inquire, and if there is news, you will come back immediately." ”

"Yes, Lord Lang!" replied the steward neatly, lifted up his robe, and ran down to find someone.

Cheng Tingzhen rolled his eyes and glanced at Mr. Liu.

Mr. Liu understood, and unconsciously tightened his sleeves.

The envelope in his sleeve was in his hand, and it also made his heart a little up.

This letter fell at the gate of the courtyard, and it was picked up by Cheng Tingzhen himself. It's just that at that time, he still had to take into account the safety of the parents of Yicheng, so he gave the letter to Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu read it for the first time, but he didn't have time to inform Cheng Tingzhen of the specific content.

"Da Lang, is there anything going on outside?" An old voice sounded, with a bit of old woman's kindness, but it was Mrs. Cheng who spoke behind the curtain, and her tone was a little worried: "I heard someone talking outside, is something wrong?"

"It's all right, mother, my son is here to watch. Cheng Tingzhen said gently, and his tone was very calm.

Mrs. Cheng seemed to be relieved, and told him earnestly: "You ask someone to guard the courtyard, close the doors and windows tightly, you don't want to go out, there is chaos outside, just stay in the courtyard, and wait for the people from the official office to come." ”

When the old man is old, he puts all his heart on his children and grandchildren, and he is always afraid that something will happen.

Cheng Tingzhen responded, but the two lying silkworm eyebrows were screwed together.

He already knew the general situation of the matter, it was a few thieves who broke into the post station, and they were discovered by the guards raised by the post station, and the two sides moved their hands.

Just now, two guards sent out to inquire about the news came back to report that there were five thieves, two of whom had been captured and three had escaped. Now the two thieves are being locked in the firewood room, and the post station has sent someone to take care of them.

The steward of the post station also specially asked the guards to pass the word, saying that they had already gone to the front to report to the official, and it must not be long before someone from the official office arrived.

Cheng Tingzhen tried his best to keep his expression flat, so as not to let people notice the trace of anxiety in his eyes.

After Mr. Liu read the secret letter, he only said four words in his ear: "Three rare volumes." ”

It was these four words that made Cheng Tingzhen uneasy.

The three inexplicable rare books in his hands were really a hidden worry in his heart, but he couldn't investigate them in detail because of his limited strength.

Now, a secret letter has suddenly entered his yard, and this letter is also related to rare books, how can you tell him to feel at ease?

"Lang Zhongling, those two thieves...... Do you want to find a chance to try the trial?" Mr. Liu came over at some point and asked in a low voice.

Cheng Tingzhen came back to his senses, and his tightened eyebrows pressed down again.

Those thieves are indeed suspicious, is there any connection between them and that secret letter?

He thought to himself and muttered, "These people...... What a thief?"

His voice was so soft that no one heard him except Mr. Liu. (To be continued.) )
